Hanzz Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Working on a commission in another program, but needed a break. Meanwhile I could try out a few new brushes.... May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzz Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 This concludes my Frenzy on painting stuff with AP.. I am getting addicted to it. I had a week of vacations, and so I could get used to the stuff a bit. You can see if you browse this topic, that I feel more and more comfortable with the painitng engine.. This could very well become my prime painting app.. Hope you like this one.... May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzz Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Just tried the new Beta.... If there's change in the picker behavior, I didn't notice. The wrong blue color pops up just as bad as before. Sorry.... May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted June 5, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hmm.. that is a shame Hanzz! Don't worry though - we will find the problem.. We think it is to do with the Wacom pressure sensitivity - can you still make it go wrong if you try with the mouse? Thanks, Andy. Hanzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanzz Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Looks like you are right, Andy. I tried a few times ,and indeed colorpicking with the mouse works as expected.... ronniemcbride and Dale 2 May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted June 10, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 10, 2015 Ok thanks Hanzz :) This will help us to find the problem. Andy. ronniemcbride and Hanzz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo.limoncelli Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hey painting guys! Anyone noticed a heavier CPU load with latest beta? My MBPR is taking off :lol: Anyway I'm not sure about causes... Could depend on my Mac too... The white dog, making tools for artists, illustrators and doodlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted June 16, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi Paolo! :) You've just got a new (bigger) Cintiq haven't you? (you lucky so and so!) More pixels == more processing, so it's possibly just a side-effect... What's it like on your old Cintiq 13HD? Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzz Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 I found no troubles here. (memory wise) May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More pixels == more processing, so it's possibly just a side-effect... What's it like on your old Cintiq 13HD? Thanks, Matt Right... Should try with old one... But... Performances shouldn't depend on my document size? I used few weeks ago AP and AD with my Intuos Pro and a 27" Dell (same res of Cintiq27) without any fan noise at all.

Staff MattP Posted June 17, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 17, 2015 The Wacom throws out many more messages than using the mouse (as you probably already know) so the application has to respond to many more requests to update... If you were using the Dell 27" monitor then you probably weren't using the Cintiq 13HD to draw on (you would've probably used the Cintiq's screen when you were drawing with the pen, I'm assuming?) so the workload when you were using it on the Dell 27" screen would've been much less - hence, no fans? Using it on your new larger Cintiq means more pixels on the screen to update (compared to your 13HD) and more requests to update the screen (compared to just using the app on your 27" Dell). That would make some sense, I think? I'm only assuming this is what the problem is because I haven't changed anything to do with the brush engine or painting tools for a few weeks that would have any impact on CPU load, so if it's actually acting differently I don't know what the problem is... If there is a problem then just let me know and I'll do my best to sort it out! :) Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo.limoncelli Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 All you wrote makes sense, definitely. Let me check with the smallest brother and I'll be back to you.

Hanzz Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm affraid I have to report back on the colourpicker issue. It took me quite a bit longer to have it a first time, but there it is again....The blueish tint for fleshtone.. May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted June 23, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi Hanzz, we have a better fix that I didn't get time to type for the current version - I'll add it later so that it's available in the next RC :) Thanks again, Matt Hanzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP: Fans start with 27", almost don't with 13" AD: Fans start with 27" but less frequently, don't with 13" Both latest beta, I'm using Gouaches Set. 8196px4096px file. A this point I think it's due to hw combo...

Hanzz Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm affraid it's completely broken, now.... With the mouse I can select colors as expected. With the wacom stylus, nothing works, it gives always this.(see image) The wheelcolor is on black, and the two selected colors (foreground/background), as well as the colorpicker swatch all change to white.... May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted June 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 25, 2015 Arg!! Ok, we will have another go! Sorry! The things we keep changing are to do with when you let go of Alt or lift the pen - it should stop sampling colour if *either* happen now - but it's obviously not right!! Andy.

Staff MattP Posted June 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hanzz, your opacity is 0% so the colour will show as white because the background of those colour 'wells' is white. Try setting the opacity to 100% and see if it works? Thanks again for all your time with this - we really do want to make it work for you! :) Matt [EDIT] I think I've figured out what's happening? Does it work correctly for you when you sample from your document, but not when you sample from UI elements? If I release Alt before releasing the mouse and I'm over a UI element then it picks up a colour with 0% opacity for me (incorrectly). It works in all other cases (this is with my Cintiq 13HD). I can definitely fix this. Does yours work the same as I have described? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzz Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Right, Matt, but it jumps to this, as soon as I change from mouse testing to stylus. I set the opacity right again, when I used my stylus, but as soon as I start sampling, it goes back to the image shown before... May the fun be with you!

Hanzz Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 New beta, same problem, sorry. Also tried a restart,resetting everything else, no use. Drivers are the latest. May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzz Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 to continue on the topic of th e colorpicker: I can get it to work as expected, if I use the alt key whilst dragging the stylus. If I use the assigned key, attached to my stylus button, it's going wrong big time. could this be my (Belgian) keyboard saying "alt" instead of "option"? May the fun be with you!

Hanzz Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 I can attach perfectly the keystroke to the tablet, but not to the stylus. I mean I can attach the key, but it does not work... The tablet is a month old. an Intuos Pro Medium. Hope this can help you guys !! May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted July 2, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 2, 2015 That's an interesting suggestion, Hanzz - I'll give it a try on my Cintiq and see what happens :) Hanzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
